Describing Repentance

7th December 2010 | 0 Comments

In our Sunday school class, we’ve been discussing repentance. And I decided that if we adults sometimes need help defining it biblically (and we do), then it would be worthwhile to share the love and teach these things to our children. Yesterday I read them Psalm 32. I told them that King David sinned. [what [...]


Truth Telling and Lying

3rd September 2008 | 0 Comments

When is a liar not a liar? Ephesians 4:25 tells us the answer: when he becomes a truth teller. “Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.” This is a pattern developed repeatedly in this chapter and in other places. It’s not enough not to [...]


Hiding Sin

This morning I was reading Psalm 32, and I decided it would be a good passage to talk about, since we’ve been dealing with some truth issues. Here’s how the conversation went: Did you know that one time King David was hiding his sin? Do you think he was happy or sad when he was [...]


Lying and the Conscience

Lee grew up with garden tomatoes and has been encouraging a summer garden adventure, so for the last few weeks, we’ve been cultivating some tomato seedlings inside. The other day I came into the kitchen to inspect the plants, and discovered them all missing. Upon questioning, none of my children have admitted any responsibility. We [...]


Dealing with Deceitfulness

28th January 2008 | 2 Comments

Last week, I caught David sneaking a candy snack. I hadn’t said he couldn’t have it, but he was obviously aware that I would not be pleased with what he had in his hands. Do you know what his response was to my question about what he was doing? What are you doing here, mom? [...]


Truth Telling

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. Proverbs 12:22 Today we talked about lying again. When I asked about a damaged container, David’s response was I don’t know. I asked both children several times what happened, with the same response. Since Bethel at age three still doesn’t [...]


Politeness or Dishonesty?

12th April 2007 | 2 Comments

The other day a visiting child cut David a paper square. She was very pleased with it, and tried giving it to David. David did not want it, so he was kind of running away from her. I started to tell David what to say, and I realized mid lecture that I was blurring the [...]


positive or negative?

20th July 2006 | 0 Comments

If you were going to teach your young child what truth is, and what God thinks of it, would you teach the first part of Proverbs 12:22 or the second? Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. The second half of this verse David and I talked [...]


Learning About Lying

2nd April 2006 | 0 Comments

This morning at breakfast, David asked to be excused. I was not sitting at the table at that time, so I asked him if his cereal was all gone (not, “Are you done?”). He said yes, but when he brought the bowl by me to put it on the counter, I saw there were quite [...]


I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog, but my greatest desire for my audience is that they would be inspired and motivated to search the scriptures for themselves. God promises to give wisdom to any believer who searches for it His way. Here are some Bible study links I have found of interest and help.

Chronological Bible: ESV

Read the Bible chronologically. The first time I read through the Bible in the order everything happened, I learned so much and gained an incredible understanding of the big picture of Scripture. If you've never done it, you should!

Bible Gateway

From this website you can search for scriptures in a number of versions and languages by key words, phrases, or references. I use this website often when I post Scripture on my blog, so then I don't have to worry about typing in the verse accurately.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

This is a fantastic online version of a classic reference tool. Basically this is a list of cross references based on particular passages. Simply click on the verse or passage you are studying, and you will find other references to other relevant Scripture.

Bible Commentaries Online

A list of classic Bible commentaries. Sometimes they're hard to understand, but they can be helpful when you're wanting more insight into a passage you are studying.

More Bible Study Resources

This is a page of links for articles and audio on the topic of studying the Bible. Some are not easy to read, but they are helpful.
The rest of this website has a tremendous amount of resources that may be of interest.
